Web Design
ENG 330

• Browsers site of the day from
  PJ and search engine site from Andrew

If your alpha password was reset, use Filezilla to check on your public_html directory. Today’s topic is searching, and sources. Here are some links that add to the readings. We’ll look at these in class:
Web browsing, search engines, directories:

• An archive of old and new browsers you can test at evolt.org
• A page to get stats on use of browsers, resolutions, platforms, search engines, etc. at StatCounter.
• Search engines and how to use them from SearchEngineWatch, the site about search engines.
• A useful series of articles on search engines from About.com
• Maybe the future of search. Creates custom pages on the topic: Addict-o-matic
• Be sure from class or readings that you understand:
  1. Boolean searches (AND, OR, NOT, +/-)
  2. Phrase or string searching ("two words" {two words})
  3. Proximity searches (word1 w/5 word2)
  4. Wild cards and truncation (wom?n and develop*)
  5. Synonym searching (new on Google: food ~facts)
  To get you started on HTML and the Handcoded pages assignment (Thursday), we’ll start a basic HTML page today. And here are PowerPoint slides from the text on structure (Chapter 1).
